Chapter 301: Black Family Cemetery
Chapter 741 Black Family Cemetery
Westminster Abbey,
Located on the north bank of the Thames in London, it was built in the 9th century and has a history of more than a thousand years.
As the most prestigious church in the UK, Westminster is not only an Anglican chapel, but also the place where kings of all dynasties were crowned and royal family members held weddings. At the same time, it is also a... cemetery.
So far, the remains of more than 3,000 people have been buried here for future generations to remember and admire. The huge stone-built inner room is filled with the remains of famous kings, politicians, scientists, poets and musicians.
However, what Rove did not expect was that the Black family, who always hated Muggles, would choose to be buried here.
What about...eternal purity?
However, considering that the Malfoy family, as pure-blood supremacists, their ancestor Armand Malfoy, was also the younger brother of William I, Duke of Normandy, and followed him to conquer England.
The Death Eaters, who are pure-blooded fanatics, also kept licking Voldemort, who had a Muggle father, calling him master, master...
It can be seen that most pure-blooded wizards hate him, but their bodies are honest.
Then, the exclusive church of the Muggle royal family where the Black family buried the mausoleum does not seem to be a big deal.
At this time, standing in the hall, Rolf was looking up at this Gothic-style church:
On both sides are high walls inlaid with stained glass, and gray stone pillars, like giant trees, extend one by one to the height, supporting a huge dome in the dizzying sky.
The boy admired it for a moment, looked at Sirius, who had been silent beside him, and couldn't help asking:
"Sirius, have you found the entrance to your family's cemetery?"
Yes, the two of them had Apparated to Westminster Abbey for a while, but the embarrassing thing was... Sirius couldn't find the entrance to his ancestral tomb.
This behavior suddenly reminded Rove of a hellish joke, that is, a family went to the grave, burned paper for several years, and one day found that they went to the wrong grave.
"It seems to be in the corridor on the east side." Sirius said uncertainly.
"It seems?" Rove raised his eyebrows, "Have you never been here before?"
"I have been here, but that was decades ago." Sirius smiled bitterly: "Rove, the last time I came here, I was younger than you."
"Then why didn't you come later?" Rove asked curiously.
"I ran away from home when I was sixteen." Sirius explained: "I lived in James's house before graduation. I have been to their cemetery many times and know the exact location."
"..."
Rove sighed softly. Fortunately, Sirius was not "Little Tian Niangxing". If he was a witch, I'm afraid Lily would have nothing to do.
At this time, a loud noise came from the far end of the hall, interrupting the conversation between the two. A burst of hurried footsteps crossed the hall and came towards them.
"Gentlemen!" a voice shouted angrily, "The church is closed now, how did you get in?"
Rolf turned around and saw a male staff member walking towards them, tapping his watch with his fingers and yelling at them to leave immediately.
Sirius waved his wand and said, "Confusion, confusion."
The man staggered as if he had drunk fake wine, blinked, shook his head, and then chuckled, "Sorry, you two continue to visit here."
As he said this, he was about to walk away slowly, but Sirius hurriedly chased him and asked him for directions.
A moment later, Sirius led Rolf to the passage on the north side of the church and walked into the dim corridor behind a row of niches.
In this corridor, Rolf saw many tombs, and the names of the owners of these tombs can basically only be seen in textbooks: Darwin, Rutherford, Dickens...
Of course, there is also the famous alchemist-Isaac Newton.
He was buried in a huge sarcophagus made of black marble, with his statue on it, his works on the side, and a pyramid behind him, covered with reliefs and celestial bodies of various shapes.
Rove followed Sirius in the winding corridor for a long time, and Sirius suddenly stopped.
Rove looked around and asked, "Are we there?"
"We are here." Sirius nodded gently and said, "What you are stepping on... is the tomb of the Black ancestors."
"..."
Rove looked down and found that he was stepping on a large stone slab with the golden letter "Black" and the Black family's coat of arms engraved on it.
He quickly moved his feet, and Sirius raised his wand and recited a series of spells.
The stone slab quickly slid, and only a "squeak" friction sound was heard between the stones, and a passage was revealed on the ground.
The two walked slowly down a staircase. The staircase was winding and wide, circling and extending downward for more than ten meters.
When they reached the end, they came to a huge underground hall:
There were columns with Black's coat of arms, a pointed arch, and a gorgeously decorated vault. Blue torches were lit on the walls, adding a ghostly atmosphere to this huge space.
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from a distance, and she asked, "Who is it?!"
Sirius narrowed his eyes and immediately raised his wand. Then something rushed towards him like a cold wind. He found that his tongue curled back and he could no longer speak.
A figure suddenly jumped up from the ground. It was tall, earthy gray, and ferocious in appearance. It floated towards them, getting faster and faster.
Sirius' tongue was knotted and he couldn't recite the spell immediately. Rolf was also speechless, but he quickly snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame shot towards the gray figure, and the smoke burned quickly.
Sirius raised his wand, pointed it at his tongue, and said slowly:
"The tongue-stuck curse... this should be the magic left by the Death Eaters. I'm afraid we have been discovered."
Luofu thought for a while and whispered: "Sirius, I will go there alone first, and when I fight with the Death Eaters, you can use the Disillusionment Curse to sneak over.
If possible, take the opportunity to save the Dursleys. "
Sirius nodded in agreement.
Rolf walked through the arch alone and entered a larger underground cave.
There are stone tombs here, and a long marble road stretches into the distance. There is a votive candle every few meters, and the candlelight shines shadowily on the ground.
After walking for more than ten meters, Luofu vaguely heard a woman's cry. He was about to run forward, but stopped.
On the road not far away, seven or eight wizards in black robes appeared. They raised their wands and pointed them at Rolf.
Rolf slowly took out the monitor he had taken away from the maze from his pocket, and at the same time waved to the group of wizards:
"Hey, good evening, Death Eaters."
